Why do we have a skeleton?

A skeleton is made up of a network of bones. Bones provide aframework that holds the whole body together. Without a skeleton wewould not be supported and would be simply flop …like a rag doll.This would mean that we would not be able to move about. At birth ababy has 300 bones, but 94 join together in early childhood. Yourhand and wrist alone contain 27 bones. Skeleton helps the movement and functions if the body. They help you stand and move! the bones keep the body from turning to a blob. if you didn't have bones you would be a blob. and couldn't do anything There are many major functions to having bones, and I shall explain some of them. Maintain body frame We need our bones to maintain a frame of our body. Bones provide a solid body structure for the support of our whole self. If without bones, our muscles and organs will not have a proper space and nowhere to connect to. In the end, we will just be a plate of jelly. Mechanical protection Bones provide mechanical protection for vital organs. Some bones are specifically made to preserve the vital organs from mechanical damage so as to protect the self from direct damage to these vital organs. Examples include the cranial bones (which protect the brain), the spine (which protects and spinal cord), and your ribcage (which protects your lungs). Ability to move Bones provide us with the ability to move. Along joints (place where 2 bones meet), the 2 bones being connected can move on different planes. After being attached to muscles, force is exerted to move the bone, which eventually translates into moving the specific part of the body. For example, your bicep muscle contracts to exert force on the radius and ulna (forearm bone) to lift it up. Without bones, we cannot move at all. Blood and B cell production The bone marrow within the bone is the sole producer of blood cells. It is done through this process known as haematopoiesis. This helps replace old/damaged red blood cells and keep the white blood cell count high enough to counter an attack by a pathogen. B cells, the cells responsible for the humoral immunity (production of antibodies), also mature in the bone marrow. The above are just some of the most major reasons why we have bones. Of course, there are many more reasons to why bones are important, but it is not within my capability to explain to you clearly. Bones are a remarkable part of the body. they provide framework for us and allow mobility. Also bones protect vital organs liek the lungs heart and brain. lastly they produce red blood cells withing the spongey bone which lies beneath the other bone. people have bones because it helps them move and shape people have bones because it helps them move and shape They help you stand and move! the bones keep the body from turning to a blob. if you didn't have bones you would be a blob. and couldn't do anything There are many major functions to having bones, and I shall explain some of them.

Without your bones you would a jiggly blob of jello.. The bones help keep you strong. You need them. . They give structure, form and shape, are anchors for muscles and connective tissue and protect internal organs. To keep your body upright, your muscles hold on to it and it helps you to move. The skeleton has 5 main functions. One is to give the shape and strenght to the body. Another is to that the skeleton is need for movement. Third, to protect the delicate organs.( the skull protects the brain) Fourth, for the muscles to be connected.This gives proper movement of bones. Lastly, it is needed in producing red blood cells which carry oxegen need for breathing. (respiration) without our skeleton, we would be blobs of formless meat. we would not be able to stand, and movement would be more like the movement of an amoeba. 'cuz we would fall oer like jelly without them to keep us up right and so we can move and stay upif we disn't have one, we'd be all flippedy floppedy on the floorWe have a skeleton because we can than stand up straight or even sit , which would be imposible otherwise. Your skeleton basically is the frame for your body. If you didn't have one, you'd just be a blob that couldn't move because it was mush! There is no structure for your muscles; they're just limp without a skeletons. Because without it all humans and animals would have no structure and just be a bag of flesh, fluid and organs. \n \n\n \n\n \n\n. The skeleton provides a rigid foundation for muscular movement - without bones, humans would not be able to move at any kind of speed. The skeleton also provides protection of vital organs, such as the brain and the heart and lungs. The skeleton is also involved in calcium/phosphorous balance maintenance in the body.
